"Ah, I understand. But since I've already issued the punishment, I can't take it back, right?"
In fact, Bai Yueyue had no idea how to punish the servants.
"Yes, it is your right and duty to punish your personal attendant. However, Miss should also know that, given your status, you cannot easily retract your words."
“Okay, I understand,” Bai Yueyue replied with a smile.
It seems that I can't make promises or agree to things casually.
"Well then, Madam, Miss, lunch is ready. Please come to the dining room." Seeing that Bai Yueyue understood her meaning, Zhao Shuli was relieved. The young lady was indeed as intelligent as the madam.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Jieyue was also satisfied with Bai Yueyue's performance. "Yueyue, let's go."
"Yes, Mother." Bai Yueyue was quite familiar with these etiquettes, following behind Li Jieyue and imitating Li Jieyue's almost silent gait.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the two sat down clockwise on the right side of the main seat in the center.
Bai Yueyue was about to instinctively pull out the chair herself when Zhao Shuli stopped her.
"Miss, you shouldn't do such strenuous movements." As soon as Zhao Shuli finished speaking, two male servants came and pulled out chairs for the two of them.
Okay, another little quiz.
Bai Yueyue continued, waiting until Li Jieyue sat down before following suit.
“Young Miss, usually these strenuous actions are done by your personal attendant,” Zhao Shuli explained. “However, since you only arrived today, you only have one personal attendant, and she is currently performing the task you assigned her. Therefore, this time, the other attendants will be doing it.”
"I understand." Although she understood, Bai Yueyue felt more troubled. In the Bai family, everyone would directly find a seat that was not the main seat.
"At the same time, the young lady must have a personal attendant by her side when she dine."
"Huh? When are they going to eat?" Bai Yueyue realized how stupid her question was as soon as she finished speaking.
However, Zhao Shuli still answered Bai Yueyue very respectfully: "That's why the young lady needs several personal attendants to take turns. Some of the personal attendants are responsible for watching over the young lady during her meals, and after the young lady finishes eating, they will change shifts, and then those personal attendants can go to the bottom area to eat."
"But right now, Hu Meier is my only personal attendant. If she has to stay by my side all the time and doesn't even have time to eat, wouldn't that be too pitiful and too tiring?"
"Therefore, until the young lady has enough personal attendants, I will take over some of their work, such as watching over the young lady during her meals."
"Thank you so much, Zhao Shuli. I feel really at ease with you here." Of course, this was just a polite remark; Bai Yueyue didn't want to be watched while eating! However, she needed more personal attendants; she really didn't want to be surrounded by a group of people in the future.
Bai Yueyue turned her gaze to Li Jieyue, who was waiting quietly with her eyes lowered. Behind Li Jieyue stood a man and a woman, two servants of similar age to Li Jieyue.
Are they Mother's personal attendants? Bai Yueyue was very curious because she hadn't seen these two people since entering the manor.
"Miss, you can't just look around at the table like that," Zhao Shuli whispered a reminder.
"I understand." Upon hearing this, Bai Yueyue also withdrew her gaze and waited quietly like Li Jieyue.
They didn't have to wait long before two servants came to Li Jieyue and Bai Yueyue's left side with trays of food.
Li Jieyue first quickly pointed to the steak, then pointed to the fish.
Bai Yueyue naturally saw Li Jieyue's actions, but she didn't understand why she did it. In Bai Yueyue's memory, Li Jieyue didn't like eating fish.
Why point to beef first, but then choose fish last? Is it to tell me to stay calm and change my choice when I make the wrong one? So, I should point to fish too, right? Bai Yueyue's brain started working at lightning speed. Clearly, this was another point that Li Jieyue hadn't taught her.
Although she wasn't sure, Bai Yueyue still pointed to the fish because... the manor's chef must be new! This fish looks so delicious; it's impossible to resist such a fragrant fish!
However, when Bai Yueyue saw that the waiter who had served Li Jieyue's meal had been removed, but the waiter who had served her meal seemed to be waiting for something, she realized that she had made a mistake again.
Ugh, never mind! Eating fish is the priority!
Following Li Jieyue's instructions, Bai Yueyue gracefully and silently put the fish she had been longing for into her mouth without even spilling any juice.
Wow, there aren't even any fish bones! Chef and fish, I give you a thumbs up!
Bai Yueyue's joy was evident at that moment, but just as she was about to enjoy her next bite, Zhao Shuli removed the fish from the table and replaced it with beef.
Three parts astonishment and seven parts disbelief, Bai Yueyue stared blankly at Zhao Shuli.
"Zhao Shuli, isn't it very impolite to remove the food that the host or guest is enjoying?" Bai Yueyue was really unhappy. Who gave her permission to take away such delicious fish!
"I'm sorry, Miss, but this is Madam's order."
Upon hearing Zhao Shuli's words, Bai Yueyue felt for a moment that she was not loved.
No wonder your eyes were so expectant before; you were waiting for me here.
Although Bai Yueyue really wanted to ask Li Jieyue why she did that, seeing Li Jieyue's attitude as if she hadn't heard their conversation, she could only back down. If she went up to confront her, she'd definitely get a severe beating, right?
